There are a lot of people asking about mileages. What they should get, have been getting, or could get with certain mods . Anyone Interested in posting their trucks and mpg's?

94 f150 ex. cab short box 4wd 5.0 gets 10 plowing 10-12 towing 12 in town and 16ish all highway with 240k miles

 

F150
351w
E4OD
7MPG ... Down hill
There might be some other mods I am leaving off.

 

1989 Super Cab Long Bed
105K miles
460 C6
4.10 gear
235 85R16
8 mpg average.

 

1990 ECLB 2wd 460 E4OD 4.10 gear 10-11mpg combined city and highway driving

 

Specs in Siggie, with 31X10.50X15 tires. A miserable 8 MPG. I am trying to improve this as I write (tune-up, TPS sensor, air filter, cleaning of fuel system, clean Throttle Body, and anything else I can think of), but I have little hope. I've read that this is about normal.

 

 

wow some of you guys getting 7-8 mpg with just srw pickups probably just driving empty........i know gasoline is cheaper than diesel......but i recommend taking the bus guys! ouch.
if you don't own a 460/c6/4.10 combo then something is wrong.very wrong.

 

Problem is, they are honest.

'Bought the same here. 7-8 mpg on my 94 5.8/E4OD/F250/4X4.

Also have an 84 F150 2WD with 351W/C6 and an Edelbrock 1406 on a
performer manifold with Hooker long tube headers. Barely 15 mpg on the highway.

 

I have felt something is wrong for a while now...I'm looking for the solution... could be a new(er) truck, maybe...perhaps...wish I didn't like this one as much as I do, it would be easier.

 

I have a 93 F250 351W extended cab long bed semi aggressive tires. I was getting about 6 MPG around town but then i changed my exhaust from stock (Orignal Cat) to a 3" stainless High flow cat and muffler and my last tank I was getting 12 MPG around town i dont know highway because that truck does not go too far on the highway (not its fault just dont want to spend that kinda dough on fuel)

 

'92 F-350 CCLB 4 x 4 460 E4OD about 8-9 city and 9-10 highway

 

yeah my problem might be the massive cam, re-tuned ecu, or maybe the 130 lbs of rotating mass I have on each corner. I also would never take the bus ... what if it gets hit by a truck like mine? I would be killed instantly in such a small vehicle. lol.

 

Well thats what I have!!

'96 F250 4X4 460,C6, 4.10's, std cab, long bed, 235/85R16 rubber, 61k miles.

Running empty, driving easy I can get 8.0 to 8.5 mpg.

Towing medium weight trailer (4000-6000lb) pulls down to the 6's

Plowing snow drops me into the 5's
